Oh my god the music in the Vordt fight is the fucking beessst.

This game is exceeding my expectations!

 

[d00d3n]

I like when you get a 3 v 1 (ie most of the time) and its like well fuck my only option is to go run towards some enemies and they all stop pursuing.....like the hell else do you expect me to do when I'm outnumbered every time like that?

Yeah, it is difficult to win a 3 v. 1 in a straight fight. Aggressively taking out the weakest link of the group usually helps, but it is difficult if they stay close.

 

[antitrop]

Nah, because you miss a ton of illusory walls, or other extremely useful tips!

Every illusory wall message I see is always a lie. In every Souls game. Bastards.

 

[Jack Remington]

Huh, another game with no leveling up at bonfires... probably the stupidest gameplay change from DS1 to DS2, so of course these fuckers doubled down on it.

At least the load times are much shorter than Bloodbornes.

Dark Souls 1 is the only game where you can level up at bonfires. You can easily warp to the main bonfire to level up though...

I'm stuck in the same spot. And I wasted my fire paper.

Thank God the load times for DS3 aren't as bad as Bloodborne (playing on PS4), that made levelling up pretty tedious.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

One of you has to be in ember form while the other isnt.

One of us is, and the other isn't and it's STILL not working. Why is it not working? Bloodborne did the same shit. and yes, we were able to co-op in Bloodborne sometimes too, just sometimes it doesn't feel like working.

Anyone else having trouble getting co-op to work with friends?

 

[Maddrical]

DS1 is the only game that has leveling up at bonfires, due to the lack of warping at the start. It's nice going back to the hub to level up anyway.

Cheap solution:

Just open the door behind him. You get a nice weapon for killing him, but no need to kill him to progress with the game

Any tricks to get playing with friends working?

Got to the Tower on the Wall bonfire, and the mail breaker sword.

definitely getting some Demon's Souls vibes here.

The 1/10 times it's real makes it worth it though!

lol having the same problem. we're filling all the prerequisites and the shit is still not working. Bloodborne all over again.

 

[co1onel]

If there's any other spear users here, what are you using early game? Arstor's spear is nice but requires titanite scales to upgrade and those don't seem to be in plentiful supply. The regular spear is outclassed in damage by basically every straight sword.

you can get him to follow you back to the elevator shaft where you can make him lunge at you and kill himself

Need to go bed for work... Must play more Dark Souls. Too good!

 

[Augemitbutter]

well i'm still in the starting area i played in the beta to death. it was good to see some new npc and new enemy placements. still not sure which stat to focus on. i went with dex but changed to normal longsword currently. love fighting the knights.

 

[burgerdog]

My god, I just triggered an npc event against a huge demon by accident and came out on top. Zero Estus left and one hit away from dying. I love this game!

 

[Vince DiCola]

It's 5:30 am and I'm still having so much fun invading in the undead settlement. Gotta get to sleep though, gonna level up a bit and hit the swamp tomorrow.
May even join the wolf dudes

[Aztechnology]

I hate hate hate how the buffered moves work. I'll roll or attack, but get hit or have my action interrupted. Then after interruption I roll or attack anyway even though I may not want to any longer. Why?

Anyone know of a way to remove the move buffer? I'm on PC

 

[Aeana]

I finished the first area. That poor

didn't know what hit him. I just went nuts on him before he could react. The boss was fun, I just barely managed to beat him on my first try.

 

[Yekshemesh]

Tried clicking use in exclusive mode on DS4Windows? That should fix it.

that didn't fix it. guess i'll try and ask reddit and hopefully someone found a fix. thanks though.

Anyone rocking a Pyromancer? Which stats are you focusing on? Only in the first area here, building some dex,int,faith so far, cant wait to get back from work to play some more, great game.

One thing I found very helpful is putting a bunch of points into vig starting out.

this dungeon area feels like a cross between the chalice dungeons in Bloodborne and 3-1 from Demons Souls.

Dark Souls 3 so far feels like a "best of" compilation of Demons, Dark 1, Dark 2, and even some of Bloodborne in there.

Yeah up until that point in the game it felt like I was just going through the motions. But when that moment hit I was 110% invested. I went back to a really high point later on in the game and figured out that you can see exactly where you're going to be for hours and hours afterward, that area included.

Hardest boss by a mile up until that point, I wiped for a good 2 hours straight on them.

 

[RandomSeed]

I'm now conditioned to try and rally health back from playing so much BB.

 

[Kyuur]

So is the password matching ignoring level restrictions false? Was playing with friends earlier, couldn't find them until I leveled to within +/- 10, then immediately found them.

It really helps to learn how to dodge for that boss. Also, no funny business outside of clear windows of opportunity. I once lost to that boss with about 1% of the boss health meter left ...

Got my first hate mail from a host that had 2 sun bro's with them.

The only crazy thing in my build is the knight slayers ring and that is really hard to get with base vit and stamina.

I did hide DS4 in DS4Windows settings. Closed out everything but DS4Windows. Clicked stop, then start. It's ran smoothly since

Guys anyone has any idea of the best soul transpositions?

I'm sitting on a couple bosses souls and don't know what to get.

I'm running a jack of all trades character. I can do pretty much anything, wield any weapon and use most sorceries, miracles etc.

The Pontiff's eye seems great, but I usually go for weapons...

Just beat them and I'm at 37. Used an NPC summon after a few solo tries. Would recommend the one near the perimeter bonfire if you don't mind some hired help for bosses.

Speaking of the boss by the way, I'm torn between getting the

Can't go wrong with Havel's ring, but if you're just doing a physical build then there's not much point in grabbing any of them until later in the game. Most have high stat requirements and their upgrade materials are really hard to come by.

If I remember correctly, there are a couple of greatshields in the mix. They are definitely worth it if you are using a STR build imo.
